Head deacon Boutros Boutros Abdel-Malak Malik, along with half the choir deacons was arrested for running a hymn protection racket. Apparently he would approach the groom during the traditional hour-long wait for the bride and say to him,”You know, my friend, the hymn PiEpnevama. It is a very long and difficult hymn. It would be shame for it to ruin your wedding. For a donation, I and my brothers the deacon will practice it until the bride arrives and sing it perfectly for your wedding. By the way alf mubruk.” Since most had attended weddings where the deacons botched Piepnevama badly, the quickly gave in and paid a donation. Boutros and his dastardly deacons were caught when one groom had brought his own deacons with him and turned him in, mainly out jealously because they never thought to run such a scam. Abuona Dioscorus, pastor of the church, was most trouble by this news, especially so when he found out Boutros wasn’t tithing the money he received from his protection racket. Mr. Malik released a statement through his attorneys from the firm of Theodorus,Theodorus, Leontius and Panikarus. He states that there is nothing in the Diskolia against what I did and I will be found innocent. Mr. Malik is being held with bail until trial.
